Oh my! In what way are you feeling unprepared? Be glad to try to support you bit. Mine is the 5th.

Thanks

It just seemed to have crept up on me so quickly (the date). I havent purchased any foods, or made any preparations.

Your surgery is in a few days! How are you feeling?

Why are you scared? Lets chat about it and get you ready for the first day of your new life!

Hi Sherry.

I suffer with anxiety and I put off making any preparations such as shopping etc. I just dont feel mentally ready. The date is creeping up and 30 days goes by quickly.

First day post op. Not a lot of pain. I woke up with some but the meds worked. Now I’m not using much at all. I walked 3 times today and sat up in a chair for a bit. Napping a lot lol. One day at a time!

Whoohoo! You made it... you're the line leader then, eh? )

Day 2: passed my leak test. Think I may have over done it a bit this am. I walked a couple times went for the test then took a sink bath. I forgot I had the pain pump and hadn’t used it today yet. Until I sat back in bed and realized I had some pain even when not Moving around. I quickly used it and now resting.

October 25!!

This is the final night before the surgery. Ahhhhh so much anxiety. I haven't done anything all day. I really want to have one last meal before the hurrah but I decided not to, I'm committed to this journey and I don't want to self-sabotage any more. I'm ready to be HEALTHY!
